Role imported from galaxy exists also as inner role

Hi

When execute the following command

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

using this requirements.yml file

2

The trick would be the repository owner not including that directory
in the repository

3

What is the trick to fix that ?

The role's directory must be the repo's top level. It's not here

See structure of the directories "Roles"
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_reuse_roles.html

and how to properly import a role

4

Many thanks. Can we import a git project containing several roles ?

Yes. Such a project is called a collection.

I did a test and the roles have been imported properly. Nevertheless I dont see how I would be able to consume them from tasks using “import_roles” as it will be needed that I hard code the full path …

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements-roles.yml
Starting galaxy collection install process
Process install dependency map
Starting collection install process
